error/local hub/cannotregisterbadport

If you see this error when trying to register, it will probably be because you are using a non-standard port e.g. (8888). Unfortunately we currently only allow sites running on port 80 or 443 to register (MDLSITE-5474).

The error is also displayed if your site is hosted locally. Please note that only sites which are on the internet may be registered to Moodle as we cannot connect to a site locally on your computer. If you only want to use Moodle for testing things out then you don't need to put your site online and you don't need to register it. If you do want your site online to use it with students then follow instructions in Installing Moodle or you could simply sign up for a free MoodleCloud site which is already set up online for you.
